Threshold Behavior Models
The behavior models for thresholds are:
• Range
• Rising/falling
• Change monitor
Range Threshold
A range threshold tracks whether a fabric element is within a specified range. It includes a
minimum and maximum boundary for the area, with buffer zones to prevent repeated events due to
oscillation of the value over a threshold boundary. If the value exceeds the low or high threshold
boundary, an event is generated. Fabric Watch can also generate events while the value is outside
the limits or when it re-enters the prescribed range.
